TOPIC: changing alternator on 84 240

Any advice? I'm changing my alternator which is simple enough, except, once disconnected it seems blocked in by the radiator hose and the oil filter. I made a mess removing the radiator hose to get it out but don't want to put it back the same way. Is there a way to put it in where you don't have to remove these things?Thanks.
